The Wines of Faugères: Classic Wine Library

Autor Rosemary George
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 sep 2016
Faug res is one of the most individual appellations of the Languedoc. Although it produces white and ros wines the appellation is most famous for its rich, ripe red wines made from the classic Rhone varieties Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. The Faug res wine appellation was created in 1982 and is now producing consistently excellent wines, the secret being in the steep hills surrounding the village of Faug res where the schist, or decayed slate, provides unique soil drainage and moisture retention and introduces distinctive minerality into the wine. The Mediterranean climate of long, hot summers and short cold winters is tempered by Faug res' proximity to the coast, which produces distinctive and elegant wines.
Faug res is a compact vineyard compared to many of the other appellations of the Languedoc, but the variety is infinite, prompted by the human hand and the perceptible differences between the different villages. The white wine, which accounts for just 2% of the appellation, is a perfect example of the way the white wines of the Languedoc are developing and improving with every vintage, their wonderful herbal flavours conjuring up the scents of the herbs of the garrigue, fennel, bay and thyme. Pink Faug res, which accounts for 18% of the appellation, provides delicious refreshing drinking with acidity and delicate fruit. The wines of Faug res always have a distinctive freshness which places them amongst the finest of the Languedoc.
Rosemary George's The wines of Faug res is a comprehensive guide to the wines of a remarkably compact and homogeneous area which covers just seven villages and a couple of hamlets. The wines of Faug res covers the history, geography and climate of the region, as well as its grape varieties and viticulture, before profiling the individual producers and their wines. It ends with an indispensable assessment of vintages going back to the creation of the appellation in 1982.
Faug res' wines, currently little known outside of France, are set to become the next global wine discovery, and Rosemary George's The wines of Faug res is the most up-to-date and authoritative guide to this beautiful region and its fascinating wines.
